If you are going to make a change to your system such updating a driver or installing a new piece of software, it is possible that the change will break a program or your computer will not work like it did. You may want to return the system to the way it was before you started making the change. To accomplish this, Windows provides a way to undo the change. While it uses some disk space, it is cheap insurance.

If you suspect that a recent change has broken something in Logger Pro or other software, use a system restore point to go back.

1) From the Start menu, choose Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.
2) Follow Wizard steps to go back to an earlier restore point.
3) or, follow Wizard steps to set a restore point.
